There may well be a lot of people losing their fingernails over the next 64 days. Speaking for myself, Nov. 5 can’t come soon enough. This presidential race is really, really close.
It’s fascinating to think that the debate between President Biden and former President Trump was just 67 days ago (June 27), the assassination attempt on former President Trump was 51 days ago (July 13), and Biden only dropped out of the race 43 days ago (July 21). Time flies when you are having a good time (or not).
The presidential election now looks likely to be a photo-finish, quite possibly resulting in the third Electoral College “inversion” in the last seven elections. Only three times during the 1700s, 1800s, and 1900s did one major party candidate win the national popular vote and the other the Electoral College vote—1824, 1876, and 1888. It took 112 years for it to happen again, when George W. Bush lost the popular vote but beat Al Gore by 537 votes in Florida, winning the decisive 25 electoral votes in the Sunshine State.
